I know some people were upset Florida got an article earlier and we didn't.
Either Rivals heard your complaints or yous guys were too quick to complain - they recently put out a great free article recapping our weekend and talking about how M-Ohio recruiting is warming up.
The media should have gone

Its to bad Michigan can't get a class of like 30 this year. there are so many good recruits in the area that are high on Michigan

Unless we join
the SEC will just have to deal with these smaller but just as great classes. Hoke is the man end of story.

I find it interesting
that I keep hearing this meme about Hoke not being flashy he just gets the job done or he's old school. Like they don't know what it's all about so they label it as simple, basic or rudimentary. A throwback that lacks sophistication. What I think is a more accurate assesment is that when people talk to Hoke they see a genuine person. Someone who cares about them, about the University, about winning the right way and putting others first. It's simple in the sense of being pure not in the sense of being easy. There's nothing easy about having integrity. He's a man who's a leader of men. Someone that can be entrusted for mentoring. That's not something that requires the veneer of flashy sophistication.
Just to make your statement more simple
its the Michigan way and A.K.A. the Bo way. You nailed it right on the head Yost Ghost right on the head.

Urban Meyer is Axl Rose?
He's got a 40 time it seems
Reminds me of Percy...
Meyer as Axl Rose
From the article: "Urban Meyer's the Axl Rose of recruiting"
I actually kinda-sorta like the analogy being made there. Certainly at the present time Urban Meyer is being portrayed as a kind of "rock star" of coaches. Whether Axl Rose is the right rock star to use as an example is open to debate. But the idea of a stark constrast in styles -- Meyer vs. Hoke -- is spot on.

I also like the Urban/Axl analogy. Especially for the reason that Axl is pretty much a recluse these days.

I spoke with an Ohio fan who explained (a) Michigan's O-Line haul in 2012 and thus far in 2013 is irrelevant because Ohio garnered the top D-Line class in 2012. And (b) the commits with offers from both schools chose MIchigan because they didn't have "Commitable" offers from Ohio State. He can't seem to accept that Hoke and the UM staff have beat Meyer to the punch on several recruits (getting in early). Discussing football and recruiting with Ohio fans sometimes reminds of of talking to my 9 year old nephew.

I guess we will just have to be happy those without committable Ohio State offers chose us over Alabama and the rest of their elite BCS offers. OSU fans are tools.

Lucky enough to have my own JT wristband!!
Addressing your last statement,my impression of tuos fanbase...
Especially,in the aftermath of the sweatervest being force to quit and all that came out(and ALL that DIDN'T) .bucks fans think everyone's a "hater," or "jealous," and we think they're all delusional This thought process was bore out of the decade of the sweatervest. Thus the urbie is GAWD talk going around.
Cheating didn't come with a BIG enough penalty imo,but winning left them *embodent* to turn their back on the vest,tp and their best decade since the sixties.
Not ALL tuos think this way,but MOST subscribe to this way of thinking...
Lucky enough to have my own JT wristband!!
Whatever fan you talked too...
needs to do a little more research. Here's a list of all the guys that committed to OSU after Urban Meyer's hire that had offers to Michigan as well.
2012
2013
1. Cameron Burrows
2. Billy Price
3. Eli Woodard
I left off Bri’onte Dunn since he only re-affirmed his commitment to OSU. Tommy Schutt I feel like can be discounted too since Michigan seemed to have cooled off on his recruitment after they got Ondre Pipkins. Of the three Ohio commitments that Hoke has grabbed so far for 2013, only Dymonte Thomas has a scholarship offer. I don’t know if that means Urban was not interested in Jake Butt and Taco Charlton, or he simply wanted to re-evaluate them during their senior season. In either case this list is definitely from the perspective of a Ohio resident so I would be interested in seeing a counter-list from a Michigan set of eyes.
I think the overall point I’m trying to make is that Urban is not a recruiting slouch either. I’m extremely interested in seeing his first full recruiting class, especially since they’ll only have room for 15-18 commits.
The fact you included Schutt
The fact you included Schutt and Pittman tells me everything I need to know about your recruiting analysis. Also, why did you fail to mention all of our 2013 guys with OSU offers? Let me guess, they didn't have committable offers?
I did say...
it was iffy to include Schutt since Michigan cooled off on him once they got Pipkins. However, Pittman is included because I do not know of an argument against it. A friend of mine argued that Michigan did not want him because of his academics, so we looked up his scores. Pittman graduated with a 2.8 and scored a 20 on the ACT. Granted his scores were not great, but they were better than some of the recruits in Hoke’s 2012 class… Willie Henry had a 2.6 GPA and a 19 on the ACT.
As for the 2013 class, I am only familiar with the recruits that OSU has expressed a lot of interest in, which so far is only Dymonte Thomas. This is why I asked for a Michigan perspective on the matter, but I went ahead and looked anyways. According to Rivals the ONLY other player in Michigan’s 2013 class that had an OSU offer was Logan Tuley-Tillman.
